Big Bang 6 Dome Concert Tour 2013 - 2014

On Saturday, November 16th, 2013, I went to Seibu Dome to watch the K-pop group called Big Bang perform. It was the kick off gig of their "6 Dome Tour 2013 - 2014".

Big Bang was the first real K-pop group that I started to really like. Of course I love TVXQ, but I only knew their Japanese songs to start off with. But with Big Bang, I only knew one Japanese song called "Let me hear your voice" and the rest were all Korean or English.

I have almost all of their albums except for their solo albums. I hope to start collecting those too!!

What do I love about this group?

Well, first of all, their voices. All 5 members sing and they all have distinct voices that all harmonize beautifully when they sing together. But even alone, they are very charismatic and powerful.
Second of all, their dancing. It is very cool, stylish, and very professional. Their energy level is very high and powerful.
Third of all, their fashion sense. It is very distinct, eye catching, stylish and hip, and original.
Lastly, their professionalism. They like to have fun and fool around on stage but only during their MC time. Other than that, everything is very stylish, professional and very entertaining. There is no room for mistakes!! Their professionalism is what makes their stage performance so fun, powerful and entertaining.

Another factor that I like about them is that their English pronunciation is perfect and their English lyrics are all grammatically correct like a native speaker. That's why they are so popular in English speaking countries as well. Their Japanese is perfect too in their songs. Two of the members, V.I. and D-Lite can speak Japanese fluently now too and they don't use interpreters any more when they are on Japanese TV shows. Amazing!!

The next concert will be in Osaka from November 29th to December 1st. 
After that, in Fukuoka on December 7th and 8th.
Next, in Nagoya on December 14th and 15th.
Then, in Tokyo on December 19th, 20th, and 21st. (I'll be going on the 20th!!)
Next year in January, they go to Sapporo for a day on January 4th.
Finally, they go back to Osaka on January 11th, 12th and 13th for the final leg of the tour. 

I'm so glad I got tickets to two performances!! 
But I'm no longer a member of their fan club so I don't think I'll ever be going to their concert again, at least not in Japan... Unless I try for the regular sales through the ticket agencies or get tickets through another fan. That's okay though. I really love their music but it's not as though I want to "see" them. I'm very happy with just "listening" to them!! So, I'll be buying their albums and their DVD's instead.
